\"LogoThe refugee crisis around the world has intensified global debates about the effective integration of refugees in host countries in recent years. In Brazil, the target of this study, Silva et al. (2020) estimate that more than 30,000 people, of the most diverse nationalities, are in a refugee situation.<\/p>\n

To increase the chances of successful integration, employment is considered by the literature to be a key factor for the effective integration of refugees in the host country (AGER; STRANG, 2008; LEE et al., 2020). In the meantime, the issue is addressed under the aegis of the theory of the relational structure of diversity management by Syed and \u00d6zbilgin (2009), which argues that a greater probability of effective diversity management occurs when there is an alignment of structural, institutional supports and individual, involving the participation of all social actors in the integration of people in the work environment.<\/p>\n

Thus, the article Barriers to refugee employment in Brazil and their impacts on long-term integration<\/a> (Revista Brasileira de Estudos de Popula\u00e7\u00e3o<\/em>, vol. 39, pp. 1-24, 2022) aims to understand how individual, national and organizational barriers and their interrelationships impact the employment of refugees in the Brazilian labor market, based on the theory of the relational structure of diversity management by Syed and \u00d6zbilgin (2009).<\/p>\n

In order to understand this issue, it presents a literature review that includes diversity management and the need for a multilevel look at its effectiveness, including individual, national and organizational aspects.<\/p>\n

From a qualitative approach, the study reveals that macro-national, meso-organizational and micro-individual factors are interconnected and can affect diversity management programs implemented in Brazil in relation to refugees.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the refugees were unanimous in saying that the language and the non-transfer of skills were the main individual obstacle they encountered upon arriving in Brazil. They also claim that there is xenophobic political rhetoric that intertwines with different social narratives, which can result in greater discrimination and fewer job opportunities.<\/p>\n

At the organizational level, stereotypes shared between managers and members are one of the main factors of exclusion in the labor market, favoring a series of problems, such as prejudice, racism and discrimination.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the findings of this research indicated the prevalence of national barriers to the exclusion of refugees from work, and these can potentiate exclusion factors at an individual and organizational level.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Brazilian government appeared as one of the main national obstacles to integration, playing a particularly important role in the relational structure.<\/p>\n

What are the barriers and possible interrelationships that impact the employment and integration of refugees? There are national barriers and individual and organizational exclusionary factors. The Brazilian government is an obstacle.
